Wed., 11/27/24, Great news....Badger came home, Vikki’s A1C number is down, lots to praise and thank God for!!!!!

This picture came up in my memories today.  I love how they are both smiling and look so happy.  We were headed to the Shack to stay over the Thanksgiving Weekend.  Great memory 

Bill blowing the rest of th leaves.  He had so many leaves blown into piles.  We picked them up and put them in yard waste cans.  Then he said he could blow the rest on the garden.

We slept in til 8:30.  Ate oatmeal for breakfast with yummy cashews, raisins and bananas in it.  I started two batches of rolls and made pie crust. Melissa called me and said Badger’s kidney number that was off the chart yesterday came down.  Yesterday they didn’t know what they actually were because it goes up to 140 and it was higher than that.  It came down to 111 yesterday, then over night it came down 40.  30 is normal.  They said if he gets down to 30 today he could come home and they could take care of him.  We sure did pray that it would come down.  If not, he would have to go to the Emergency Vet and stay.  That is $1500 per night.  The vet went from having no hope yesterday to being really hopeful today.  I made some chocolate pudding today tood. We read our Bibles after that.  Bill left to meet Alec at Panera Bread.  It was nice and sunny out, so I washed windows.  We can pull them in and wash them inside, but I like doing it outside if possible.  Today it was warm enough with the sun shining so it was possible.  

 When Bill got home, he started blowing the many leaves that were under our big Maple tree.  I worked on making the bread dough into ball shapes for rolls, then covered them to let them rise.  I went out and helped Bill pick up leaves and put them into yard waste cans.  Dec. 5th is the last yard waste pick up day.  Happy those leaves are falling so we can take care of them before really cold weather sets in.  We worked hard and fast.  Our backs were feeling it after a while.  I came in because my timer went off and it was time to bake the rolls.  I made up the chocolate banana pie during bake time.  Then I went back out to help Bill.  I blew out the leaves that had gotten in the storage place under the pool deck.  Not much fun since you can’t stand up to do it.  We put the fire pit and the lounge chairs in after we were done.  Then we put the swing seats and one cover in the garage.  We also put the umbrellas in the garage.  We moved the stuff we leave outside under the gazebo.  Happy to have all that done.  Melissa texted me that they were going to pick up Badger.  I am so happy and can just imagine how wonderful it will be for them to have him home and him to be home.  Praising and thanking God lots for His wonderful love and amazing answers.

Bill made chicken noodle soup with his dumplings in it for dinner.  We ate, then relaxed by the tree.  Someone came to look at Bill’s log splitter.  They didn’t buy it thought.  They are looking for a bigger one.  

I texted lots with my sister Brenda today.  We always pray for each other and then praise when the answer comes.
